delegation. While Abraham 8. Hew-
lit disappears, Samuel 8. Cox comes
again to to the front. Mr.. Hiscock.
long prominent Republican member,

licans, Milo White, Horace B. Strait
and James B. Wakefield, who have 60

Executive Department }
State of Louisiana.
Baton Rouge Feb. IL, 1887. ,
Dear Sirs-The indication are that
there will be an unusual high water
the present season. The law remits the
care, protection and local supervision of
levees to the police juries in the levee
districts. I respectfully request that
you will il necessary call the jury in
special session, and inaugurate energetic
measures for the protection and preser-
vation Of the levees. The levee from the
town Of Plaquemine to New Texas Lam
ding. needs special attention and a yigi-
liant patrol should be kept along the line
of levees. 1t is impracticable for the
State to guard aud protect the entire line
Of levees from the Arkansas line to the
Gulf. but as designated points where
danger is imminent the State will afford
all the assistance with its power.
